Blizzard Entertainment is looking for an individual to lead a mobile development programming team. The ideal applicant will possess outstanding communication and coordination skills and be capable of leading a group of programmers in bringing Blizzard-IP-related functions to the mobile space.
Apparently the candidate for the lead role needs to be experienced with MIDP and CLDC development on the J2ME platform, WAP and WML. The ad specifically mentions application development, but also the creation of mobile internet sites.
A plus would be an understanding of BREW, SMS and MMS, as well as Symbian and Flash Lite experience, which gives you a clue about possible directions for Blizzard’s mobile plans.

Poland is among the world’s first ten most visited countries, many tourists coming from neighboring nations. Although the first tourist attraction is Krakow, the ancient capital of Poland, tourists also love the beach resorts along the Baltic Sea, the Mazury Lake District, the national parks and the Carpathian and Sudeten mountains.

Poland is also widely known for its wildlife, for its vast forests, for its rare animals and for its numerous lakes. Tourists leave this country having great memories and wanting to come back as soon as possible. Everyone can find something interesting to do in Poland and the modern infrastructure allows visitors to enjoy the highest standards of recreation.

Even the most demanding guests will be pleased with the Polish museums, the art galleries and concert halls, its equestrian clubs and nightclubs. Tourists can experience in Poland the traditional hospitality of Polish people. Furthermore, they can rest and recreate in this country any time of the year. The climate is another great thing about this country because it ensures nice conditions for leisure activities throughout the year

A dedicated Spanish-speaking team is being assembled at the Blizzard Entertainment offices in Irvine, California and Austin, Texas to ensure that Spanish-speaking World of Warcraft players based in North and South America will receive high-quality 24/7 support in Spanish. Positions are currently open on the company’s customer service, quality assurance, community relations, and web teams, and a new official website for the game’s North and South America-based Spanish-speaking players is in development.

“Making World of Warcraft more accessible to gamers around the world has been a longstanding goal for us,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Spanish-speaking players on our North American realms have already shown a great deal of enthusiasm for the game, and we’re pleased to be able to offer them a fully localized version.”

Further details on pricing in local currencies for Latin American players, as well as country-specific availability, will be announced closer to release. Also closer to release, Blizzard will provide details on language-pack downloads and character-transfer options for existing Spanish-speaking players on the game’s North American realms.
